Description
For over 150 years this farm at the intersection of Stowe Hollow Road and Upper Hollow Road has been in agriculture. The large, historic barn at Grandview Farm is over 100 years old and can be seen in photographs of Stowe Hollow as early as 1935. Grandview Farm’s many uses over the years have included sheep farming, timber harvesting, dairy farming, and guest/skier lodging.
Nancy Tooley purchased Grandview Farm in 1996 to restore the pastures and the barn and raise animals. In December of 1996, she donated a conservation easement to Stowe Land Trust on 65 acres at Grandview Farm to ensure that the land remained undeveloped. The conservation easement includes the pasture, barn, and a large swath of forest on the hillside to the east of the barn. This forest contains a number of trails that are ideal for backcountry skiing and hiking, and link up to other private trails and state trails on the Putnam State Forest.
